Geologic Map of Arigma
This map of the state by Darton and others
will soon be out. It is a great advance in our know-
lodge.
All of Arigma west and south of a line joining
King Hills, Pichaco, Sacaton, Mesa, Canon,
Prescott, Stradberry and Gold Basin, is as far as
known all of Archeogic schist and granite, Older
(Cutaneous) and younger volcanics (Pleistocene), and
Bolson deposits (Pliocene but mainly Pleistocene).
Associated with schists in many places in western
Arigma are diomatic matters that Darton holds
are Cadiniferas, because he says in one place he
saw a crinoid columnal. Lawson rather thinks
they are instead Archeogic strata. Again Darton
says a large piece of limestone with Coral fossils
that is said came from over the Colorado river in Cal.
a little south west of Cibola, Arigma. As far as
my paleographic maps so they lend support to
the idea that all of Arigma may have been
deeply covered by Carbon-Permian strata.
If this is true then much of the granite I met
Arigma must be Jurassic age. Such granites can
be seen from western Arigma into California. The
age of the matters must be determined, since it is a big
factor in coming out the age of the volcanics.
